Lynelle Kenned is a soprano opera singer who has established herself not just in the opera world, but the entertainment industry as a whole.
Following stints in the South African Youth Choir and Stellenberg Girls Choir (the latter winning the 2006 Choir of the World title), she was a star graduate of the UCT Opera School and a member of the award-winning South African Sopranos.
Operatically, sheโs performed locally and abroad in various productions, more recently asย Julieย in Cape Town Operaโs UK tour of โShowboatโ,ย Cherubinoย in โLe Nozze di Figaroโ, andย Saartjieย in the award-winning โPoskantoorโ.
In 2012, she was runner-up in the Top Billing Presenter Search. Following the competition, she joined TV show Pasella as a presenter and in 2013 she made her acting debut in the musical theatre production ofย Blood Brothers, a David Kramer adaptation of the West End smash hit.
Armand Joubert will be familiar to M-Net viewers from The Voice SA, where his version of Ariana Grandeโs โInto Youโ in the Blind Auditions scored four chair-turns.
A singer pretty much since he could talk and blessed with a beautiful (and high!) soprano,, Armand has performed in Spain, New York and Israel, as well as festivals like Aardklop. He was also the face and voice for the national Childline campaignโs 2016 song, โTears In A Bottleโ.
Still in his early 20s, Armand has mastered instruments including the mandolin; released a debut album, โ#DromeWordWaarโ; scored the soundtrack for short film โSpoorloosโ; and collaborated with Kyle Grant.
Following his stint on The Voice, Armand released the single โShould Iโ โ cop it on iTunes or Apple Music.
